Please follow our course specific day outline. Alongside serving as a blueprint for creating the actual tutorials, it will help us understand our course broadly, find synergies between days, and isolate if day-wide learning objectives compile into our course-wide learning objectives.
Note when creating this outline that all materials (images, data, etc) must follow our CC-BY Copyright Requirements. Please consider this now so you do not have to adjust later. Figures from the IPCC reports may be used but the full figure and captions must be included.
When your day outline is complete, please upload to your day folder (under the Curriculum folder), and add it to the 'Day Outline' column for your day on the curriculum tracking spreadsheet so it can be easily reviewed.
Project Description (Projects Only)
Please follow our course specific project description. Alongside serving as a blueprint for creating the actual project templates, it will help us understand our course broadly and find synergies between curriculum days and projects.
Note when creating this description that all materials (images, data, etc) must follow our CC-BY Copyright Requirements. Please consider this now so you do not have to adjust later. Figures from the IPCC reports may be used but the full figure and captions must be included.
When your project description is complete, please upload to your project folder (under the Project folder), and add it to the 'Project Description' column for your project on the project tracking spreadsheet so it can be easily reviewed.
Python / Libraries
Please use python 3.9 in your environment and make sure all libraries used are compatible.
Please add any libraries used to this spreadsheet. This will make it easier to build the course python environment, and keep track of complicated libraries if they exist.
if you decide to work on your own machine, you can find a short instruction on how to duplicate our python environment here
Notation
We expect all leads and their invited speakers to follow standard notation for climate science.
Please include all notation used in tutorials, keynote speaker talks, and projects in this excel file (under the CMA_notations_tutorials tab).
It is helpful to check that your day doesn't differ from other days.
We expect all content to be created and updated through our Github repository.
You can find a detailed instruction on how to use our Github here.
When all tutorials are complete, please add links to the 'Notebook File and Link' column for your day on the curriculum tracking spreadsheet so it can be easily reviewed.
Project Template Creation (Projects Only)
We expect all content to be created and updated through our Github repository.
You can find a detailed instruction on how to use our Github here.
For the project template slide, we expect there to be one socioeconomic question and one physical question for each yellow question and red question category. Please apply a dashed border to socioeconomic questions.
When your project template materials are complete, please add links to the 'Github Notebook File and Link' , 'Slides File and Link', and 'Drive Video Link' columns for your project on the project tracking spreadsheet so it can be easily reviewed.
Slides Template
Here is our current slide template. Please make a single slide deck that includes slides for all tutorials.
Please refrain from referring to specific tutorial numbers or day numbers in your slides.
Please refrain from referring to specific tutorial numbers or day numbers in your videos.
When your videos are complete (not needed until the third review stage for curriculum and the second review stage for projects), please add links to the 'Video File and Link' column for your day/project on the curriculum tracking spreadsheet or project tracking spreadsheet so it can be easily reviewed.
Assessment Questions (Day Leads Only)
Provide 5 assessment questions to measure student understanding.
Add them to this spreadsheet (note the current questions are from last year to give you suggestions, please overwrite with your new questions as needed).
Provide 1 overall assessment question to be added to the pre- and post-course survey.
Add it to this spreadsheet (note the current questions are from last year to give you suggestions, please overwrite with your new questions as needed).
Note: try to keep the questions related more to the concepts of climate science or computational tools presented, and less on technical details unless they are the true focus of a tutorial.
